Obituary from the Edwardsville Intelligencer, Edwardsville, Madison County, Illinois, Friday, June 2, 1939, page 2:
Dr. Adam Hale Oliver, a practicing physician of this vicinity for 45 years, died at his home Thursday evening at 8 p.m. Death was due to chronic interstitial nephritis, superimposed by a fracture of the right hip, which resulted from a fall occurring last Friday afternoon at his home.
Dr. Oliver was born in Millerstown, Penn., on Dec. 29, 1861 and had attained the age of 77 years, five months and three days. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. William and Sarah Rishel Oliver.
He was educated in the public schools of Altamont, where he had gone with his parents at the age of five years. Upon his graduation from the medical school of Washington University in St. Louis, he began his practice at Glen Carbon, then a flourishing mining town.
Dr. Oliver was one of the oldest physicians in the county, practicing for many years before the more modern conveniences of the present time aided those in his profession.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Effie E. Yates Oliver and two daughters, Misses Ila and Olga Oliver. Also surviving is a sister, Mrs. Sadie Oliver Merkle of Cleveland, Ohio and two nephews, Willis Oliver of Cleveland and Paul Oliver of Tulsa, Okla.
The body is at the Marks' Funeral Home pending arrangements for the services.
Pallbearers were six doctors: Dr. R.S. Barnsback, Dr. E.C. Ferguson, Dr. J.A. Hirsch, Dr. J.R. Sutter, all of Edwardsville and Dr. D.D. Monroe of Alton.
